Analysis of a 108,000 ton/year Cat Litter Pellet Mill Plant Project in North America

The raw material of natural plant tofu cat litter is natural and pollution-free. It can be degraded and reused after use. It is gradually recognized by pet lovers and the demand is increasing. The global cat litter products is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2020-2025). Cat litter is one of the major necessities for a cat owner other than cat food. A litter box is used as a urine and feces collection box for cats. An increase in cat-owning households leads to a corresponding rise in demand for cat litter. Furthermore, the expansion of the cat litter market is fuelled by a rise in the cat population and an increase in the number of multi-cat households. This is anticipated to drive demand for cat litter products. Moreover, self-cleaning cat litter helps to maintain cat hygiene despite the time constraints of the owner of the cat. The weather has a clear influence on litter purchases, the sales are more in rainy and winter seasons.

North America had the largest share in 2019. Due to the increasing number of cat owners in the region, the region continues to be the leading market. Countries such as the United States and Canada are the major markets in the region.

Canadian Pet Market Survey 2020

The pets as family or “pet parent” trend has been ubiquitously reported, but remains central to understanding modern pet industry dynamics. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic fallout, nearly half of Canadian dog or cat owners report that they are spending more on pet products than they used to, and another third report no change in spending levels. At the same time, the increasing role of technology in our lives, accelerated by the stay-at-home coronavirus pandemic period, has transformed pet product shopping patterns as well as approaches to and expectations for pet care generally.

Over a third of Canadian dog or cat owners report buying pet products online more than they used to. Even so, Canadian pet owners have not taken up Internet shopping to the same extent as their US counterparts. Nor are Canadians always as receptive to some of the key drivers of pet food innovation and premiumization. Moreover, the differences in pet food shopping behaviors and psychographics between dog or cat owners in Quebec, compared with those in Ontario or Western Canada, are even more important than those between Canada and the US.

1. 108,000 Tons/year Tofu Cat Litter Pellet Mill Plant Project introduction

3. Production process of tofu cat litter

The raw and auxiliary materials are mixed in proportions according to the requirements of the formula, and then transported by the elevator to the mixing machine for mixing. A small amount of fresh water needs to be added during the mixing process. 20℃ to facilitate granulation, the granulated material is cooled, then sieved, the pellets that meet the pellet size are transported to the cooler by the conveyor belt for cooling, and the cooled pellets are transported to the silo for temporary storage by the elevator, and then After being packaged by a sub-loader to a dryer for drying, the drying temperature is maintained at 60 degrees. The dryer adopts electric heating. After drying, the materials are transported by conveyor belt to obtain finished products.
